One of the greatest bands from the seventies and eighties. We are lucky they are still touring and making new music. Dead Air is a Beautiful ballad from the band. I prefer more upbeat Blondie, but everyone will love this song with the still Lovely, and talented vocals of DEBBIE HARRY.

The song starts with subdued guitars and other stringed instrumentals. Slowly it gives way to stronger rock. But Debbie's melancholy lyrics and mournful delivery of the lyrics soon let you know that this is not another love song, but a love lost with a touch of regret and remorse. But, if you are a true Blondie fan, you know that Debbie rarely writes love songs but many lost love songs. The music builds behind her voice and abruptly ends with her final lyric.I can not think of a song to compare it to: it is not a heavily produced song that slowly fades. Debbie sings a mournful song of lost love and the music stops. Between the subtlty of the instrumentation and the resigned tone to Debbie's voice it is a great tune worthy of classic Blondie and beyond.

This is what I like about Amazon music. Did not even know Blondie was still turning out music ! I have re-discovered her. This is not close to being in my Top 100 songs ever. But, I am glad I purchased it. A very somber and reflective song.
